DigiSuite software for use with DigiSuite MAX card sets(version 7.2)

DigiUtils 7.2 provides support for new components on DigiSuite DTV, DigiSuite LE, and DigiSuite LX cards issued after September 1, 2003. If you have one of these new cards, you must install DigiUtils 7.2 in order for the card to be properly detected during the DigiSuite software installation and when starting your system.

Important    This release includes all the new features in DigiUtils 7.1, but does not add any new features or bug fixes. Therefore, if you presently have DigiUtils 7.1 installed, you do not need to install DigiUtils 7.2. For a list of new features included with DigiUtils 7.1, see the Matrox DigiSuite MAX Release Notes.

DigiUtils 7.2 has been tested and approved for use with Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 1 is recommended) and Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4 is recommended). If you have a new installation of Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4, you'll need to install a hotfix after installing DigiUtils 7.2 as explained in the Utilities section on this web page (see Hotfix for Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4).
